297 Discovering the Secret Chamber
Wei Ting played along with Su Meng’s act, but he did not plan to stay any longer. After he finished speaking, he ignored Wei Xue and carried Su Meng to her room.
Wei Xue looked at the two’s departing figures and clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were almost digging into her flesh.
Xiao Xiao, who had been giggling foolishly, only came back to her senses now. She followed Wei Xue’s gaze and looked at Wei Ting, asking in surprise, “Xiao Xue, didn’t you say that your brother’s relationship with Su Meng is bad? Why is he still holding Su Meng? I don’t think they’re like what you’re saying.”
Wei Xue glared at Xiao Xiao. Although her expression was ugly, her tone was very gentle.
“Xiao Xiao, can’t you tell that they’re acting? After all, the Wei family is a big family, and my brother and Sister Su Meng haven’t really divorced yet. If others find out that there’s a problem between them, it will be a big joke.”
After she finished speaking, she turned back to look at the room that Wei Ting had come out from.
That room was Grandfather Wei’s. At this moment, the door was ajar. Wei Xue peeked in through the crack of the door, but there was no one in the room.
If Grandfather Wei wasn’t in the room, why were Wei Ting and Su Meng in there? What were they doing in there? Wei Xue and Xiao Xiao stayed nearby for a while, but they didn’t hear any movement from the room. They didn’t see anyone coming out of the room, so she was sure that there were only Wei Ting and Su Meng in the room.
What made her even more curious was that the relationship between Wei Ting and Su Meng gave her a very strange feeling.
In the past, the two of them were clearly incompatible like fire and water. Why did they look so harmonious and intimate now?
Wei Xue’s face turned pale. Was it really because of the wound? But she didn’t do anything, so why did the wound suddenly open? When she thought of Wei Ting’s happy mood, a very bad thought suddenly appeared in Wei Xue’s mind. Could these two be ‘quarreling’ inside?
Before she could finish her thought, she immediately rejected the idea. Although Su Meng was not a decent person, Wei Ting would definitely not do such a thing. She trusted him.
After consoling herself, her heart gradually calmed down.
Xiao Xiao saw that Wei Xue was only staring at the room. There was no one in the room, but Wei Xue was entranced. She didn’t understand the reason, so she patted Wei Xue’s shoulder. “Xiao Xue, What are you looking at? We should go back.”
Wei Xue was suddenly patted by her and instantly came back to her senses. Seeing Xiao Xiao who was smiling at her, Wei Xue tried her best to suppress the disgust in her heart and said with a smile, “I’m fine. Let’s go.”
Wei Xue took one last deep look at the room. The room was neatly arranged, and there wasn’t a single wrinkle on the bed. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. Very good, it seemed like what she was worried about didn’t happen.
She was about to follow Xiao Xiao back to the living room when she heard some movement in Grandfather Wei’s room.
Wei Xue turned her head and saw that one of the walls in the room had been pushed open from the inside. The person’s back was facing the door, and he seemed to be locking the door.
Wei Xue sneaked closer to take a closer look and was surprised to find that there was a door on the wall. Because it was of the same color as the wall and there was no door handle, it couldn’t be seen at all.
Behind the invisible door was another door with a password, and Grandfather Wei was messing up the password.
She had never known that there was a secret chamber in her grandfather’s room! So, the reason why Su Meng and Wei Ting did not move was because they were in the secret room?
Grandfather Wei carefully closed the two doors and restored the surrounding items before turning around and walking out.
When Wei Xue saw this, she pulled Xiao Xiao and ran toward the corner in front.
Grandfather Wei’s movements were very slow. He waited until Wei Xue had already gone into hiding before he slowly walked out of the room.
Grandfather Wei looked calm as if nothing had happened. He gently closed the door and turned to the other direction.
Xiao Xiao was too focused on Wei Xue and the necklace to notice the commotion in Grandfather Wei’s room.
She saw Wei Xue pulling her to hide and not far away was Grandfather Wei who was leaving. She asked in confusion, “Xiao Xue, why did you hide when you saw your grandfather? Didn’t you say hello to him?”
Only then did Wei Xue realize that her gaffe had been seen by Xiao Xiao. She quickly thought of an excuse for herself in her heart.
She revealed a smile and said embarrassedly, “Ah, look, I was scared by my brother just now. When I saw Grandpa come out, I actually instinctively hid. I’m timid and often get scared, so don’t tell anyone. We’ll go and say hello to Grandpa later when he’s downstairs.”
